Life / Polish TV Online on CMS website [27]

thanks gumishu , it seems that a tvpinfo is very, dry , unlike the very sensationalist tvninfo and polsat tho i do like watching the tv version of cops on polsatnews, komenda i think its called..

@delphiandomine
do your own research

Life / Polish TV Online on CMS website [27]

oczywiście, ale its entertaining like watching fox or aljazeera and i am curious in finding out the biases and ideology of polish news, so have been looking at tvn24 vs polsat news. So far tvn24 seems the most anti pis, not suprising since their proprieters have ties to russian intelligence services , have not figured out polsat news yet, i guess middle of the road but with free market po leanings. unf i cannot find a tvpinfo streamn

I know i should go to the effort to read the newspaper but television news is guilty pleasure :)

Life / Polish TV Online on CMS website [27]

i've tried them all but polska.cx is impressive , though expensive, how long does it let you watch before it makes you pay.?

for polish tv channels for free its use weeb.tv/channels, it only cuts u off after an hour and then u can load another channel, its good for catching up with the 24 news polish channels..

So why haven't you learnt polish after nearly 16 years in poland? This person's english is infinitely more times what you will ever achieve in learning polish. My father has a friend who has been in australia for 20 years and has not learnt english. But somehow i thinik you are more pathetic. I mean, you english complain when people come to your country and don't bother to learn english and form ghettos yet you are doing the exact same thing in poland. Off with his head!

History / Polish flag over the Reichstag first? [399]


once again...

"... in the event of any action which clearly threatened Polish independence, and which the Polish Government accordingly considered it vital to resist with their national forces, His Majesty's Government would feel themselves bound at once to lend the Polish Government ALL support in their power. They have given the Polish Government an assurance to this effect.

I may add that the French Government have authorized me to make it plain that they stand in the same position in this matter as do His Majesty's Government"

avalon.law.yale.edu/wwii/blbk17.asp

So not only was Britain speaking for France , when the invasion occured it was a joint French-British command that authorised the French to stop advancing in Germany in 39. They also forgot to inform the polish of this.
